Crown Point Airport, officially named A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, is the epitome of tropical paradise airports. You'll find this gateway to Tobago located a breezy 11km from Scarborough, the island's capital. With direct flights from the UK, you'll touch down in a locale brimming with Caribbean lushness and allure.
Driving in Trinidad & Tobago
Tobago's roads are straightforward to handle for Britons as, just like in the UK, they drive on the left-hand side of the road. However, do be aware that while major roads are generally in good condition, more rural and minor roads can be narrower and bumpier.
Rental Cars
Stepping off the plane into the sunshine, you'll find several rental car options at Crown Point Airport to commence on your island adventure. You can grab your keys from recognised outlets like Alamo, Budget, and Thrifty available right in the arrivals area.
Car Classes
We recommend booking a compact or economy class car due to the narrow island roads. These smaller vehicle models also tend to be easier to park and are more fuel-efficient which is handy for exploring the island's nooks and crannies.
Getting Around
Upon leaving the Crown Point Airport, the quickest route to Scarborough is via Claude Noel Highway, approximately a 20-minute direct drive. For more scenic surroundings, opt for Milford Road to enjoy impeccable ocean views.
Fuel Stations
There are several petrol stations close to the airport for your convenience. Consider popping into the NP Service Station on Milford Road, just a four-minute drive away.
Essential Information
Once in Trinidad & Tobago, expect a tropical climate with a temperature which averages between 26-30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The local currency is the Trinidad and Tobago Dollar, but the US Dollar is widely accepted at most establishments. Just bear in mind it’s not uncommon for change to be given in local currency.
Surrounding Cities
From Crown Point Airport, top spots to visit include Scarborough, ideal for its historic fort and botanical garden, and Charlotteville for world-class snorkelling opportunities. Discover Pigeon Point Heritage Park for a classic Tobago beach adventure.
